It started off with a kid… How could it turn into this?
This little soap shop started off with our beloved Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats. (If you want to read more about our herd, check out www.EgidioGoats.com.) So there we were, with this wonderful herd of goats, and milk, so, So much milk! One of my very best friends, Laurelle at Top Flight Farm, makes some of the most outstanding soap I had ever seen, and had been offering to teach me for many years. Finally, I made the time to try, and after one batch, I was convinced this was the art form I had been searching for my entire life.
So, here we are, years later, and my soap obsession has continued forward. We are so excited to enjoy this explosive growth of my little soap shop, and appreciate all of those who have held out a hand to help us take a step up in each stage. I also have to give credit to Amy Warden, of Great Cakes Soap Works, and her monthly Soap Challenge Club, as it has enabled me to become a better soap maker, and certainly a better soap photographer!
I also have been uplifted and mentored by the wonderful Bee Ilyata of Sorcery Soap. I feature her soap dough in many of my designs. Her creativity, honesty, and joy in soap making is infectious, and I am so glad to call her friend.
Our “team” consists of myself, my husband Danny, our daughters Olivia and Victoria, and of course, the goats! Being a small family operation means we are also lucky enough to have input from one of the most wonderful and inspiring people in my life, my incredible Father. Easily my biggest cheerleader, he’s also fast to offer names, ideas, and input to new ways to show case our soap! He is also the worlds very best grandfather to our youngest Olivia, and they have grand adventures together that often inspire new soap ideas! *Update, we sadly lost my wonderful father March 27 2020. However, his infectious naming schemes, soap ideas, and love will continue to be a huge part of my soap making, so I cannot bear to edit any mention of him.

We also don’t believe in pretending our soap is anything more than just that. Soap. Soap is a wash off product, so, by that logic, it can Not be moisturizing, tightening, or cure cancer.
